Pursuit of Honor

Mitch Rapp Series

By: Vince Flynn

Narrated by: George Guidall

Length: 11 hrs and 51 mins

Publisher's summary

The action begins six days after a series of explosions devastated Washington, D.C., targeting the National Counterterrorism Center and killing 185 people, including public officials and CIA employees. It was a bizarre act of extreme violence that called for extreme measures on the part of elite counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp and his trusted team member, Mike Nash.

Now that the initial shock of the catastrophe is over, key Washington officials are up in arms over whether to make friends or foes of the agents who stepped between the enemy's bullets and countless American lives regardless of the legal consequences. Not for the first time, Rapp finds himself in the frustrating position of having to illustrate the realities of national security to politicians whose view from the sidelines is inevitably obstructed.

Meanwhile, three of the al Qaeda terrorists are still at large, and Rapp has been unofficially ordered to find them by any means necessary. No one knows the personal, physical, and emotional sacrifices required of the job better than Rapp. When he sees Nash cracking under the pressure of the mission and the memories of the horrors he witnessed during the terrorist attack, he makes a call he hopes will save his friend, assuage the naysayers on Capitol Hill, and get him one step closer to the enemy before it's too late.

Once again, Rapp proves himself to be a hero unafraid "to walk the fine line between the moral high ground and violence" (The Salt Lake Tribune) for our country's safety, for the sake of freedom, for the pursuit of honor.

Critic reviews

"Flynn demonstrates that he truly understands the psyche of the enemy.... Really scary, so realistic." (BookReporter.com)

Great Story

Excellent listen and story! This book makes you feel like you’re in the action right along with the characters.

A Fast Paced Pursuit of Excellence

A really great book that confronts the reality of the terrorist threat and the myopic view of many left leaning liberals. The book is fiction but grounded strongly in todays realities and very accurately depicts the manner in which the muslim world views the west. The action and detail are superb. The ending was a bit weak when compared to the rest of the story but that is a minor point.Narrator was OK but needs to work on his cuban accent which is poorly done. Overall this book is well recommended.

A Continuing Story

This story picks up where Extreme Measured ended. Mitch Rapp again continues to protect America from terrorists while doing pokitcal battle with congressmen and senators who do not like his tactics. If you are a Vince Flynn fan, you will definitely like this latest book. I would recommend you consider reading Extreme Measures first as it will significantly help establish the characters and story line. My only criticsm is that at the end, the pace of the story accelerated greatly and there was much less detail provided. I don't want to give the story away, but the consequences that led to the final "event" should have been anticipated by Rapp and his bosses. However, these are minor annoyances as I had a hard time not just sitting down and listening to the whole book. There were also plenty of loose ends left that could find their way into the next book - I can hardly wait.

Action packed, fast paced, the BEST reader

I rarely write reviews but this one deserves high praise. It helps if you read Extreme Measure, the preceding book but is not necessary. Quick paced, just enough description, and great story telling. George Guidall is absolutely the very best reader there is. His reading is real story telling. Thank you Vince Flynn and George Guidall

Awesome

One of my favorites in the series. George had a killer performance again. Made me feel like I was watching a movie.

Near perfection

Great episode in the exploits of the top terrorist hunter of all time.

Narrative by George Guidell is as good as it gets.

Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

George Guidall is a master. I have enjoyed everyone of his narrations.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Another nonstop, pulsating thriller in the Mitch Rapp lineup!

This is the 12th book in the Mitch Rapp series by Vinca Flynn and is right at the top with the rest of them. Impossible to put down. A great follow up to “Extreme Measures“. George Guidal is fabulous as the narrator.

Really Liked The Story Line

The story was good however, Mike Nash's family really got under my skin at times especially when Maggie kept turning Mike's phones off. Nevertheless, I am glad that things worked out for the Nash family at the end. Oh yeah, Baby Charlie was adorable! There were some really thought provoking scenes this time. I wanted Mitch and Senator Lonsdale to hook up.

Fantastic

Love Vince and all of his books! so sad he is no longer with us.
